Lyrics:
I feel I'm missing out on life's most important things. Been thinking about career for so long I forgot about me. I'm married to my music which doesn't leave much room for love. Following a pipe dream and dreaming of who I'd become.

*chorus* But I'll follow in my footsteps of what I know I got to do. I'll take a little time then I'll leave it all behind and then, I'll come back around. I'll come back around.*end chorus*

God has a funny way of giving us what we want often times at the price of something we don't want to give up. She may have a sense of humor, but I'm not laughing. In fact I need some answers I hope she gives me a ring

*chorus*

God has a funny way of giving us what we want. She sure has a funny way of giving us what we need.

"Reason 2 Live"

Lyrics:

Well I ain't no millionaire living up high looking down on the world slave away so I can make a dime. I ain't up in hollywood memorizing lines making money off my make-up vanity on primetime.

*chorus* I make a change by living my life in a way so much bigger than you or I. I'm part of something that will make history. I got a reason to live for more than just me. *end chorus*

Well I ain't royal blue but my blood runs thick. I got shrapnal round my neck, flick your bic what's next? And I ain't no politician lie my way into position transmission jammed- what you got to say?! There's my version there's your vision, there's a line and there's a truth. I just stand for what is right and what is left is up to you.

*repeat chorus*

Everyone knows that everyone dies so while I'm here it's my decision what I do with my time. My choice isn't easy but I know it's my path, for those of you who disagree, kiss my- ASK ME what it takes for freedom and how will it start. Everything you need to know is in your heart. If we got to disagree then let's make a change. Tweak your field of vision, calibrate your open range.

*repeat chorus to end*

"Figured Out Your Game"

Lyrics:
You have taken my freedom. I regret the day that we met. There's nothing worse than feeling that you were a waste of my time. I'm happy oh so joyful that your life is separate from mine. I hope one day you feel the sting from my bite.

I remember everything you said to me while I choked on your- come on please. Like you cared about me. I was just another notch on your post pardon me.

*chorus* I figured out your game

I didn't- couldn't see it, the forest through the trees. Afterthought has brought me alone and with nothing. I'm the bringer of karma and it's time that you paid up. How could you do this to me. You kinged me while my back was turned.

*chorus*

You can't just ruin my life without me coming back to say "oh by the way you should have killed me now I'll do to you what you have done to me"

*repeat chorus*

There's nothing worse than feeling that you were a waste of my time.

"I'm Not Here"

Lyrics:
I would say I'm sorry but that just wouldn't be enough. There are days regret comes my way. There's not a day that goes by that it don't. And I'd be lying if I said that I didn't miss you anymore. The truth is without you I wouldn't be here and without you I feel like I'm not here.

*chorus*
I'm not here I messed up now I'm reaping the bed I have sewn. All my thread's come undone, now your memory is all I know. It's all I know.

I've recently learned a life lesson. Sometimes it's just too late. And all of the sweat, the tears and the blood can never tackle the fight over fate. Maybe I stepped a little too hard, oh yes I stepped right on that crack. I've walked under ladders, I've broken mirrors, and I've crossed that big black cat's path.

*repeat chorus*

If I could, know I would try and make what I did different. But I can't so I won't make up for the damage I did. Say you'll try just to see what you used to love in me.

*repeat chorus*

"Boxcars and Wine"

Lyrics:
I've been living off of chances. I've been chasing the stars. I ain't no saint, but I'm the sailor of time. I've seen good men turn to dogs, and I've heard nations cry. Lord I'm young, but I feel like it's my time

*chorus* To rise above and make a change. I do it now, before it's too late. Lord I want a better life than boxcars and wine.

Feeling low, like I ain't got what it takes. I'm fighting odds that would make a gambler cry. I'm taking off my kid gloves and putting my fear aside. Bet your ass I'm gonna live while I'm alive.

*repeat chorus*
